Malaysia Officials Open Criminal Inquiry Into Missing Jet - NYTimes.com by Keith Bradsher

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The search for Flight 370 turned into a criminal investigation on Saturday, after Malaysia declared that the plane had been deliberately diverted and then flown for as long as seven hours toward an unknown point far from its scheduled route of Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia said Saturday afternoon that he would seek the help of governments across a large expanse of Asia in the search for the Boeing 777, which has been missing for a week and had 239 people on board. The Malaysian authorities released a map showing that the last satellite signal received from the plane had been sent from a point somewhere along one of two arcs spanning large distances across Asia.

As part of the investigation, police officers were seen Saturday going to the home of the flight’s pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, in a gated compound, and the Malaysian news media reported that a search had taken place. A spokeswoman for the Royal Malaysia Police would neither confirm nor deny the reports but said there would be a news conference on Sunday.

A satellite orbiting 22,250 miles over the middle of the Indian Ocean received the transmission that, based on the angle from which the plane sent it, came from somewhere along one of the two arcs. One arc runs from the southern border of Kazakhstan in Central Asia to northern Thailand, passing over some hot spots of global insurgency and highly militarized areas. The other arc runs from near Jakarta to the Indian Ocean, roughly 1,000 miles off the west coast of Australia.

The plane changed course after it took off. “These movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane,” Mr. Najib said.

He said one communications system had been disabled as the plane flew over the northeast coast of Malaysia. A second system, a transponder aboard the craft, abruptly stopped broadcasting its location, altitude, speed and other information at 1:21 a.m., while the plane was a third of the way across the Gulf of Thailand from Malaysia to Vietnam.

Military radar data subsequently showed that the plane turned and flew west across northern Malaysia before arcing out over the wide northern end of the Strait of Malacca, headed at cruising altitude for the Indian Ocean.

The flight had been scheduled to land at 6:30 a.m. in Beijing, so when its last signal was received, at 8:11 a.m., Mr. Najib said, it could have been nearly out of fuel. “The investigation team is making further calculations, which will indicate how far the aircraft may have flown after the last point of contact,” Mr. Najib said, reading a statement in English. “Due to the type of satellite data, we are unable to confirm the precise location of the plane when it last made contact with a satellite.”

The northern arc Mr. Najib described passes near some of the world’s most volatile countries that are home to insurgent groups, but also over areas with a strong military presence and robust air defense networks, some run by the American military.

The arc passes close to northern Iran, through Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, and through northern India and the Himalayas and Myanmar. An aircraft flying on that arc would have to pass through air defense networks in India and Pakistan, whose mutual border is heavily militarized, as well as through Afghanistan, where the United States and other NATO countries have operated air bases for more than a decade.

Air bases near that arc include Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, where the United States Air Force’s 455th Air Expeditionary Wing is based, and an Indian air base, Hindon Air Force Station.

The southern arc, from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean, travels over open water with few islands. If the aircraft took that path, it might have passed near the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. These remote Australian islands, with a population of fewer than 1,000 people, have a small airport.

After Mr. Najib’s statement on Saturday, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded to know more, and said China was sending technical experts to Malaysia. Two-thirds of the people on the jet were Chinese citizens.

A ministry spokesman, Qin Gang, said China would shift its search planes and ships to areas west of Malaysia. That region includes countries that have tensions with China, including India. Mr. Qin said China would seek the cooperation of any countries affected by the redeployment.

China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, convened ministries and agencies on Saturday to discuss the developments. Even with a vastly larger area to search, the officials insisted that the effort must continue with increased vigor.

“The search remains the most pressing and No. 1. task for now,” said an the account of the meeting on the ministry website. The officials said the broader search would cover land as well as sea.

In Washington, the Malaysian announcement did little to change American investigators’ perspectives on what happened to the plane.

“It doesn’t mean anything; all it is is a theory,” one senior American official said. “Find the plane, find the black boxes and then we can figure out what happened. It has to be based on something, and until they have something more to go on it’s all just theories.” The investigator spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the inquiry.

American investigators have been provided with much of the flight data obtained from radar and satellites, but they say they have far less information about what the Malaysian government has uncovered about the pilots and passengers or the Malaysian inquiry. Soon after the plane disappeared, F.B.I. agents and other American investigators “scrubbed” the names of the pilots and passengers — including two Iranian men who traveled on stolen passports — to determine whether they had any connection to terrorists and found none, according to the officials.

Officials in Washington say they are frustrated because they believe that the F.B.I. could be of substantial assistance.

The Malaysian government has said that analyzing this data is a slow and painstaking process.

David Learmount, operations and safety editor for Flightglobal, a news and data service for the aviation sector, said that the Malaysian government could have acted far sooner on the information pointing to someone’s seizing control of the plane.

Mikael Robertsson, a co-founder of Flightradar24, a global aviation tracking service, said the way the plane’s communications had been shut down pointed to the involvement of someone with considerable aviation expertise and knowledge of the air route, possibly a crew member, willing or unwilling.

The Boeing’s transponder was switched off just as the plane passed from Malaysian to Vietnamese air traffic control space, thus making it more likely that the plane’s absence from communications would not arouse attention, Mr. Robertsson said by telephone from Sweden.

“Always when you fly, you are in contact with air traffic control in some country,” he said. “Instead of contacting the Vietnam air traffic control, the transponder signal was turned off, so I think the timing of turning off the signal just after you have left Malaysian air traffic control indicates someone did this on purpose, and he found the perfect moment when he wasn’t in control by Malaysia or Vietnam. He was like in no-man’s country.”

The signs thus indicated involvement of the crew, Mr. Robertsson said, but he emphasized that those signs were not definitive, nor did they prove whether any involvement was willing or coerced.

Xu Ke, a former commercial pilot who has advised the Chinese government on aviation security, said the details suggested that at least one crew member, most likely one of the pilots, was involved in seizing control of the aircraft, either willingly or under coercion.

“The timing of turning off the transponder suggests that this involved someone with knowledge of how to avoid air traffic control without attracting attention,” Mr. Xu said in a telephone interview. “You needed to know this plane, and you also needed to know this route.”

Especially since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, Mr. Xu said, security on cockpit doors has been reinforced so that forced entry would be difficult without the pilots’ having ample time to send a warning signal.

“We have to be careful about our words and conclusions, and examine all the possibilities, but the likelihood that a pilot was involved appears very likely,” Mr. Xu said. “The Boeing 777 is a relatively new and big plane, so it wouldn’t be anyone who could do this, not even someone who has flown smaller passenger planes, even smaller Boeings.”

The possible northern corridor Mr. Najib described bristles with military radar, making it more likely that the plane either went south or, if it did fly north, did not make it far, Mr. Robertsson said.

“I don’t really think that the aircraft could have flown so far over the land, because it would need to pass over so many countries that someone should have picked it up,” he said. “If they had taken the northern corridor, they could have gone down before they reached land, so it’s also possible.”

Huang Huikang, China’s ambassador to Malaysia, sat impassively in a light gray suit in the front row of Mr. Najib’s news conference, at an airport hotel here on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

On Saturday, the announcement from Malaysia brought dismay in Beijing among family members and friends of the many Chinese who were on the missing plane. For a week, the families and friends have gathered at a hotel, receiving updates from Malaysia Airlines employees and waiting for news. Several managed to find some relief in the announcement that at least one person had apparently seized control of the plane, because that still left a faint hope that the passengers were somehow alive somewhere.

On Saturday, James Wood, the brother of Philip Wood, an American passenger on the flight, said the wait had been difficult.

“The days sometimes drag by,” he said, “and we’re trying to turn off the TV because it’s just a little too hard to handle on a constant basis.” He said the news that the search had turned into a criminal investigation was difficult. But the family is still hoping that Mr. Wood is alive.

“We have to. We just have to,” the brother said.

According to a person who has been briefed on the progress of the investigation, the two “corridors” were derived from calculations by engineers from the satellite communications company Inmarsat, which were provided to investigators. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because details of the search remain confidential.

The older satellite communications box fitted on the plane has no global positioning system, the person said. But investigators have managed to calculate the distance between the “ping” from the plane and a stationary Inmarsat-3 satellite. The satellite can “see” in an arc that stretches to the north and south of its fixed position, but without GPS it can say only how far away the ping is, not where it is coming from, the person said.

But based on what is known about the flight’s trajectory, investigators are strongly favoring the southern corridor as the likely flight path, the person said.

女人偏方 by 嚴浩

前天我回到念中學時的母校，是畢業「才」幾十年以後第一次回去——自從看了《他來自星星》，覺得自己實在年輕，起碼還有三百多年好活，活到四百歲還會碰到一個傻大姐，真爽死人！這個韓劇真惹人愛，連我們行家的春茗都有人熱講，一班行家都是「才」年過半百的孩子，欣賞這個青春劇很適合……


我為電視台拍的《嚴浩養生秘方》第2集開播了，回母校是搞個宣傳活動，拍檔是大笑姑婆廖碧兒，廖碧兒性格大大咧咧，又因為從小在外國受教育，香港的一些土話她聽不懂，所以總在被搞笑，但她一點不小器，這是位天生的傻大姐，加上長得高大，又會打架，拍動作搞笑片譬如「搞笑霸王花」之類最適合不過。


今天播出的內容包括專訪有四十幾年養蜜蜂及製蜜經驗的蜂場主人葉師傅及兒子Hugo，探討甚麼叫真蜂蜜，也介紹用不同季節的蜂蜜做出不同療效的飲食。廖碧兒示範美髮偏方「果醋蛋黃髮膜」，還有用超市買回來的水果桑椹子做的補腎桑椹子膏，以及花做的食療，譬如時令花茶，連我們熟悉的茉莉花茶也變成養顏茉莉花蒸蛋，當年還是皇室食品呢。


香港乳癌基金會副主席王天鳳也為大家分享她乳癌後切除乳房的經歷，她怎樣處理呢？（今天晚上10時至11時，有線高清娛樂台）

煮奴湯 by 李碧華

曾在日本一家古老小店，品嚐古老的江戶料理。


其中有一道喚「煮奴湯」──把奴才給煮了吃多痛快！原來那「奴」指豆腐。涼拌而吃不必加工，是「冷奴」；切成方塊的是「奴豆腐」。日食分類精細，「湯煮奴」是豆腐為主，沾醬油吃，淡味是真味。「煮奴湯」是一客湯，以調味過的高湯（鰹魚、醬油、味醂、清酒，加一片昆布），小火慢慢燉煮方塊豆腐，湯很鮮美，根本不用再沾多餘醬料，直接品嚐。便宜簡單又可口的家常菜，江戶時代《豆腐百珍》、《食物排行榜》、《日日德用儉約料理角力取組》（幕末時期奇怪書名，橫看豎看不似食譜），都推介過這庶民美食。以前在東京下町，是冬天必吃的熱湯。有時喪禮後宴請客人也奉上，如中國人「解穢酒」菜式中有冬瓜、豆腐一樣，因是素食，也表示清白來清白去。


這菜式容易做，但豆腐太軟不好吃，硬一點的豆腐緊實又入味，才不辜負那鍋高湯，喜歡薑葱只可加少許提味，不損豆腐清素。


若是葷吃，那煮的定是名利奴權勢奴政奴財奴愛奴貓奴手機奴……皆奴隸，大都會的「煮奴湯」重口味。

「亞洲價值觀」 by 陶傑

二十年前開始，亞洲經濟增長，因為勞工成本廉價，出口強勁，促成就業普遍，市場旺盛。


本來，亞洲的「奇蹟」，只是經濟現象，經濟以「價格」（Price）的競爭為本，價格只與一個「錢」字有關，但那時候，亞洲一些領袖，開始翹尾巴，在國際論壇誇誇而談，大講所謂「亞洲價值觀」。


「亞洲價值觀」是甚麼？二十年來，除了一個錢字很明確，其他一片模糊。


亞洲不同歐洲。歐洲是耶教文明地區，從芬蘭挪威，到意大利葡萄牙，連俄國和波蘭，除阿爾巴尼亞和巴爾幹的少數，都信奉同一宗教，而且在一九九一年之後，都有民主普選。歐洲基本上，是一種共識。


但是亞洲不同：亞洲表面各自發財，日本脫亞入歐，早已不屬亞洲。南韓和中國，表面上稱為「儒家文化」，其實是胡扯，中國是蘇俄馬列的共產國，跟「儒家」沒半點關係，韓國也不再是「華夏」，跟真正儒家的台灣中華民國，韓國又沒有邦交。


亞洲的越南是共黨政權，馬來西亞和印尼信奉回教。泰國以佛立國，行英式君主立憲，跟天主教的菲律賓，各行普選，而且跟台灣一樣，又都民粹的躁動。


亞洲有甚麼共同的「價值觀」？屁也沒有。因為「價值」（Value）跟價格不同。價值比發財的層次高一些，追求人文心靈的理想。亞洲除了經濟，並無人文；除了物質發財，理想也很淡薄。在亞洲大城市的商場大廈電梯，你看到許多電視螢幕展示股票價格，譬如香港：看世界政局不論烏克蘭、敍利亞，一切皆「大市走向」，此外就是年初一黃大仙爭上頭炷香，這就是香港體現的「亞洲價值觀」。


「亞洲價值觀」是一個偽命題，供亞洲政客平時掛在嘴邊吹水，緊要關頭，通通破產。例如政府總理開記者會，規定禁問「周永康問題」──如果有禁開口的問題，你模仿西方白人國家的甚麼記者會（Press Conference）做甚麼？不如叫各國記者都下跪，由皇帝來宣讀聖旨？


失蹤了一架亞洲飛機，亞洲人都不相信亞洲，信美國的五角大樓和CNN，正如亞洲貪官的財產和子女都移送美國。甚麼「亞洲價值觀」？笑死人沒命賠。
